Mists of Pandaria Collector's Edition Mount and Pet Revealed

Blizzard's at it again, posting cryptic tweets about Mists of Pandaria. This time it's a screenshot of a Quilen mount and pet. Thanks to the magic of datamining, we know these are the Collector's Edition pet and mount being shown in the picture: Imperial Quilen and Lucky Quilen Cub!

So what do you guys think--does the idea of a pet and a mount tempt you into an expansion's CE more? What other goodies should they include this time around?

CE will be mine regardless of the digital perks it offers. Given the datamined loot I am pleased its not a pandarean dragon type as there are loads about already. Didnt expect this one to be an actual dog though, think I would have preferred a glowy golden statue version instead.

Will prob fly like Headless Horseman mount.

ugh, another pug! LOL, I love dogs & animals but a pug with a mini-me lion's mane..........I was hoping that the C.E. would actually come with a Companion pet that was a baby Dragon Turtle Mount. But alas, no such luck.As for the Quilen Mount, went and looked up Quilen and found on Wowpedia.org the following:Quilen are Chinese mythological creatures somewhat resembling cross between a horse and a dragon, and are often referred to as Chinese unicorns. Warcraft's interpretations more closely resemble Chinese guardian lions, or shishi, also known as "Foo Dogs" in the West. So guess that is certainly fitting the MOP motiff accordingly! I did upon initially seeing it think it was definitely a morphed version of the Guardian Lion Mount.

I haven't been playing WOW long enough to have the CE editions for vanilla, BC or WOLK but i did get it for Cata so i will most likely get it for MoP too. Plus it always helps to have a mount when you hit level 20 without havaing to buy one in case yer broke lol.

Cute pet =P

If I'm not mistaken, this would be the first time, that the collector's edition pet is NOT a Dragon.

It was a mini-nether drake on TBC, a mini-frost Wyrm on WOTLK, and I think a Mini-Deathwing on cata.

Hurray for finally something different.

The MoP Collector's Edition should come with a full year of free monthly WoW subscriptions to those who HAD PAID or ARE STILL PAYING for the 1 year subscription to get D3 free. Sorry, but D3 was a huge disappointment. Someone needs to be compensated with some free swag!

i normally buy all CE's from blizz and the added mount would have surely got me to buy the next one...if it weren't for the fact that blizz games become more and more dissappointing to me, to me it all depends on what they are gonna do with the dead servers issue

I think everyone is missing the point of this post. The OP asked what else we wanted in the CE and everyone is only commenting on whether or not they like the pet and mount. Well, I for one, like the thought of a mount as well as the pet this time. I admit, I felt a little cheated as far as what I got and how much money I spent with the Cata CE, and that's the only CE I own. Granted, the DVD, soundtrack, art book , TCG pack, mousepad and Deathwing pet were all great, I just want to see more in-game perks and less of the other stuff. I listen to the soundtrack quite often as it is while playing and how often am I going to sit and look through the art book or watch the DVD? I didn't get anything majorly good in the TCG, just a cheesy card that lets me put flowers in my path. Come on Blizzard, we're forking out some serious cash for these things, how about something that we can actually use IN THE GAME! A mount is definitely a bonus, so take it one step further. How about some things similar to guild perks, like bonuses to all professions on that account, or the ability to port anywhere in Azeroth with some ridiculous cd like 24 hours, or something. I'm sure all you creative geniuses out there could add SOMETHING that you want as a bonus for owning the CE that you can use in the game......lets get this going!

Agreed. Whilst the mount is a good step up, more digital in-game rewards would be the way to go.

I have to agree. Personally, I like the vanity style items found in the game and TCG. I think adding something along the lines of a guaranteed rare loot item from TCG or just a random rare item from a pool of possible items only obtainable from the CE would really add to the value. Like others here, I was a little disappointed at the digital offering for the Cata CE. At least these two items are a step forward in Blizzard redeeming themselves. ;-)

This is where Mike B shows up and says this proves that MoP will be free and these mounts will be part of the annual pass!

Not especially... though I'm surprised they are using a non-dragon this time. Unfortunately, the only WoW collector's edition I was ever able to purchase was the one with the worst content -- ingame and physical -- the Cataclysm Collector's Edition. To be fair, I knew what I was getting when I bought it, but I partially bought it just so I could finally have one. (Didn't think the TBC version would sell out in under three days, and hurricane Ike hit when they announced -- and sold out of -- the WotLK CE)

Frankly, with my disappointment in the quality of the last expansion set's collector's edition... I really don't give a rat's ass about the collector's edition or whatever crap they put in it this time around. That said, the mount and pet do look reasonably cool. Just not enough to be worth 40 dollars.

... though, come to think of it, I would not be surprised if the collector's edition only has the pet, and that the mount is part of store content or even a new annual pass. Guess we'll see.

A pet that cannot follow me while I fly (and there's another "pug" ) and a mount that has multiple identical models? No they're not going to get me to buy the Collector's Edition.

I like the CE boxes. They have always been full of goodies. If i was going to be greedy I would ask for a certificate for a discount on airfare so more can attend Blizzcon.
